The Vogele VR 500 screed is for its 8-foot class pavers. The new screed has extending units that can be sloped by up to 10%.
In combination with the Super 1700-3i and Super 1703-3i asphalt pavers, the VR 500 achieves pave widths of between 8 feet 4 inches and 20 feet 12 inches.

Vogele has developed the screed from a clean-sheet perspective, according to the company. It has a low design, is extremely compact, and offers an optimum view of the entire auger tunnel. The two-stage telescopic guidance system enables smooth and precise width adjustment. The center joint for hydraulic adjustment of the crown also ensures a high level of stability, even with larger pave widths, according to the company.
The height of the screed’s end gates can be adjusted hydraulically at the touch of a button. The new VR 500 has an adjustable edge that allows the operator to continuously adjust the angle from 0 to 90 degrees.
All components that come into contact with the material are constantly heated, which ensures a homogeneous surface structure. The additional heating integrated into the leading edge of the screed plate prevents buildup and enhances finish texture.
The ErgoPlus 3 operating concept provides a clear layout of all functions and symbols. Operators can define, view, and change all relevant paving parameters, including the Niveltronic Plus system for Automated Grade and Slope Control, at the screed operating consoles. The screed width be adjusted with the SmartWheel.
